The largest organism found on Earth can be measured using a variety of methods. It could be defined as the largest by volume, mass, height or length. Some organism s group together to form a superorganism , though this cannot truly be classed as one large organism. The Great Barrier Reef , the world s largest coral reef , stretching 2,000 km, is a collection of many organisms. The Aspen tree Populus tremuloides forms large Clonal colony stands of genetically identical trees technically, stems connected by a single underground root system . These trees form through root sprouts coming off an original parent tree, though the root system may not remain a single unit in all specimens.
